Ruff seas ahead, captain! So, what do you say his reaction will be to the AoC ads?
IMHO, I believe him and his gang will get the attention of Gov. Arnold, Senator John McCain, and every other politician in the USA that wants to make a stand against video games and violence for the cause of protecting children in an election year. I see a very rough month ahead in the US.
Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware
"Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

No one cares about what Jack Thompson says anymore after he was found with a prostitute...but no one actuelly cared about him before those allegations anyway
Yeah, I can just see Arnold wanting to ban Conan. Tobey McQuire will be boycotting Spiderman, also.
Nothing haha, well not since he got his practice licence removed by the judicial board in florida pending mental health checks, cracks me up everytime i read the article about it
LOL, link or it never happened

sorry, news article link please. I don't use youtube, that is the #1 source on the planet for getting viruses, keyloggers, etc onto your computer.

Lol that cracked me up too, but it was well deserved. I mean a man with a vendetta like that isn't right in the head. I can see him cowering in the corner in tears screaming. "Games raped my mother and killed my family!"

i tried to find the article again but here are the court records which contain it also wikipedia mentions it

You have been mis-informed, .flv the extension youtube runs the videos on can not run any actionscript it can only play the frames, so even if a .swf is turned into a .flv it's non-threatening. It's the #1 used site in the world for a reason. If it had viruses, keyloggers, etc it wouldn't be around long.

Liberal Lawyers will be flocking to file suit if one has not already to test the waters so the closer it gets to election day the worse it may get. You can thank all the hype on this one if it happens.
MAGA

Man between that and this: gamepolitics.com/category/jack-thompson/bar-trial-series/ I feel like I should write Thompson a thank you note for fucking himself.
Oh, make no mistake, when the CNN/Fox News/MSNBC find out there's an online game out there with boobs and graphic violence things could get very silly. In many ways this game is every conservative watchdog groups worst nightmare.

Rofl gotta love how uninformed retards who have never even touched a videogame in their life try to make decisions for people that have and know they are just harmless fun. With all the various causes of murder/death, videogames would probably be ranked 1 millionth out of 100, you'd think they would try to make policies on something more serious.
O_o o_O
It doesn't help the gaming communities cause when every time a kid commits a violent crime they cry, "but the video game made me do it!" Every single case, the evil video game told them to go kill their grandparents or go kill someone just to see what it would be like to do it. The sad part is, juries fall for it.
